The term 'highly ornate style' is often associated with the ROCOCO art movement, which was popular in Europe during the 18th century. The word 'ROCOCO' is derived from the French word 'rocaille, ' meaning 'shells and pebbles, ' and is characterized by its intricate designs, asymmetrical shapes, and pastel colors. This highly ornate style was used in architecture, interior design, and painting, and was often seen as a reaction to the more formal Baroque style.
